Day #4: Thank you Christian Reformed Church for joining us in this ministry. What a great mission opportunity to give back to Jesus Christ. Our verse was: Psalm 136:1

Day #3: We have been plunging into an adventure of discovering the nature of God. God is our safe place our refuge. Psalm 142:5 says:” I cry to you, Lord; I say “You are my refuge,my portion in the land of the living.” We have the promise that we can be sheltered (take refuge)in the arms of Jesus whenever we need to. Stay tuned!

Day #2: Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys we learned that God knows everything (WOW GOD!) David writes in Psalm 139:1 “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me” How amazing that God knows everything and loves us no matter what. What a promise…what Hope. Stay tuned.

Our Community VBS kicked off last night as we stepped through the mist of Rainforest Falls. We had a great turnout. We learned that God is our creator (WOW GOD) and how He created our world. What an awesome God we serve.
“Praise the Lord, everything He has created , everything in all His kingdom. Let all that I am praise the Lord. (Psalm 103:22). Stay tuned!

Love it when the church family practices teamwork as the Body of Christ. Each night of preparation brings us closer—not just to Bible School, but to one another in Christ. Our volunteers bring creativity, laughter, and servant hearts. We keep building—layer by layer, trusting that God multiplies every effort for His glory.
Are you curious about what’s happening? Come take a look or lend a hand tomorrow at 9 AM as we finish decorating! Whether you’re crafty or just willing to serve, you’re welcome. “For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.” (1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV)
Let’s keep Christ at the center of all we do—see you Sunday at VBS at 5:30!

What a blessing to experience another W.O.W. Sunday! It was a Lord’s Day set apart to celebrate our graduates—recognizing God’s faithfulness in their journey and His call on their future. Give glory to God for all He has done through you!

Today, on the National Day of Prayer, let’s come before the Lord together. “The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16 NIV)

Let’s pause and pray:

Father in heaven,
We ask that You would surround our families, our church, and our nation with Your mighty hedge of protection. Guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Shield us from harm, guide us in Your truth, and keep us in steadfast in hope. May Your presence be our refuge and strength in every circumstance. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

We are deeply thankful for the faithful prayer warriors in our church family—thank you for lifting us all up, day after day. Your prayers make a difference! Let’s press on in prayer, knowing that our sovereign God hears and answer!!
